On the 13th of May, far-right Christian extremists again attempted without success to disrupt a drag show at a venue on Barracks Row in SE Washington DC. Again a solid wall of umbrellas blocked their view of people entering the venue, again loud music made their hateful words hard to hear.
Not even violent Proud Boys back on Feb 18 were successful in
attempting to shut down a drag show in the DC area. The extreme right
has been able to stage media events but not project serious raw power
into the DC area since Jan 6, 2021. This while elsewhere in the US, drag
shows are being banned outright by state legislatures in some places
while in others armed neo-Nazis are held off by armed anti-Fascist
activists. Christian nationalists are promoting outright genocide against the LGBTQ community in the South and the GOP is listening to them.
